We discuss some of the relevant issues concerning the chemical physics of vapor-phase and condensed-phase nucleation processes. The presentation will highlight issues involved in going from interaction potentials to thermodynamics and kinetics.
Keywords Nucleation, interaction potentials, statistical mechanics, charge transfer, clusters, crystals, luminescence
